INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

7

Impairment of Transportation Equipment

As the nature of the business of the Group pertains to marine transportation, the transportation equipment is material to its financial statements. Also, the estimates and assumptions adopted by the management in the impairment assessment of the transportation equipment directly impact the recognition of impairment loss on assets in the financial statements. As a result, impairment assessment of the transportation equipment was deemed to be a key audit matter. For information on the impairment assessment of the transportation equipment was deemed to be a key audit matter. For information on impairment assessment of transportation equipment, refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements: critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty.

The main audit procedures that we performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above were as follows:

  1. We understood and tested the design and implementation of the key controls over the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment.

  2. We independently assessed the Group’s internal and external information to evaluate the rationality of management’s identification of impairment indicators for transportation equipment. Given that there were impairment indications, we performed the following:

  3. a. We obtained the asset impairment valuation form produced by the management for each cash-generating unit.

  4. b. We assessed and consulted with our internal specialist regarding the reasonableness of accounting estimates used in the impairment assessment, such as the identification of cash-generating units, the confirmation of fair value of transportation equipment by obtaining supporting documents, and the discount rate and future cash flows used in determining the recoverable amount under the discounted cash flow method..

Stage of Completion of Freight Contracts

The Group’s freight revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Because management is required to exercise judgements and to have estimates to a certain extent when measuring and calculating the stage of completion of freight contracts, revenue recognition and expression might be affected by the selection and application of calculation methods; therefore, the determination of the stage of completion of freight contracts was deemed to be a key audit matter. Refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements: critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty for information on the stage of completion of freight contracts.

The main audit procedures that we performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above were as follows:

  1. We understood and tested the design and implementation of the key controls over the recognition of freight revenue.

  2. We obtained relevant documents and understood the determination of the stage of completion of freight contracts, and we confirmed that the calculation method is appropriate and applied consistently.

  3. We verified the management’s calculation of percentage of voyages and freight revenue by collating the information on actual voyages, entering/departing reports, sailing schedule and freight contracts.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

9

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Cheng-Ming Lee and Li-Wen Kuo.
